Helena Panayis is the lovely lady responsible for bringing us to Dubai. Here, far from the rain clouds of the UK, we have been performing at the beautiful Madinat Theatre and we have Helena to thank for this. So we thought it was time for us (and you!) to find out a bit more about her. More...

The Blunderbus Away team
It hasn’t taken the Little Boy long to get itchy feet and want to jet off to more countries. So following on from his trip to Malaysia in March, the Little Boy has set off once again and this time he has flown to Dubai to share his tale with families in the Middle East – and he doesn’t mind at all, that there is more sand than he is used to!

I love decorating the Christmas tree with my siblings, Georgie and Edward. This year we wrapped Edward up in tinsel and stuck baubles round his ears and made him singing christmas carols! It was so funny! But my favourite thing to do is to write my Christmas Wish List. Otherwise how is Father Christmas going to know what I want!

Helen
Do you remember when you were a kid waiting for the summer holidays to begin? Summer never really felt like it started until that final school bell rang! Well, since the big kids working for Blunderbus have never really grown up, we still get that summertime feeling at the start of the school hols!

Edwin
There comes a point in every actor’s career when you need to stop and reflect.

And it can come as quite a shock when you see what you have achieved. I’m not one to sit around and congratulate myself and I always look for the next challenge, but I would like to take moment to rejoice in what has been accomplished. More...
